This has been a good year for new, fun-to-drive cars. In addition to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ, the Hyundai Veloster is a welcome entry in the sporty-car class. Its edgy styling stands out on the road. And its asymmetrical design—with a single rear door on the passenger side—helps make it surprisingly livable. The Veloster’s nimble handling, slick shifter, and quick, well-weighted steering add to the fun factor. Its 31 mpg overall helps at the pump. And a low, $20,000 sticker price makes it easy on your wallet. (See our complete Hyundai Veloster road test and Ratings.)
